Inside an occupied West Bank settlement, ultra-Orthodox martial arts instructor Moshe Katz oversees students role-playing events from the October 7 Hamas attacks, teaching them how to reverse the guns in a hostage scenario.

"I'll take you hostage first, then you do it to me," he told a student while brandishing a blue rubber Kalashnikov during a simulation for Krav Maga, an Israeli fighting discipline.

Switching to playing a hostage, Katz told the student to grab him by the back of the shirt.

Catastrophic computer outages caused by a software update from one company have once again exposed the dangers of global technological dependence on a handful of players, experts warned on Friday.

A flawed update sent out by the little-known security firm CrowdStrike brought airlines, TV stations, and myriad other aspects of daily life to a standstill.

Adidas said Friday it had dropped vocal pro-Palestinian model Bella Hadid from an advertising campaign for retro sneakers referencing the 1972 Munich Olympics, which were overshadowed by a massacre of Israeli athletes.

The German sportswear giant recently relaunched the SL72, a shoe first showcased by athletes at the 1972 Olympics, as part of a series reviving old classic sneakers.

Iran is capable of producing fissile material for use in a nuclear weapon within "one or two weeks," US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday.

The details on Iran's capabilities emerged following the recent election of President Masoud Pezeshkian.

He has said he wants to end Iran's isolation and favors reviving the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and global powers.

Blinken said, however, that "what we've seen in the last weeks and months is an Iran that's actually moving forward" with its nuclear program.

The families of hostages grabbed by Hamas gunmen on October 7 noisily agree they want the captives home but are split on how best to achieve it.

"There is no unity among the families," said Dani Miran, whose 47-year-old son, Omri, was taken at gunpoint from the Nahal Oz kibbutz in Hamas's unprecedented attack on southern Israel.

"There are people on the left, on the right, religious people, secular and Bedouins. We have to find common ground," added the father.

Yemen's Huthi rebels, who claimed a deadly strike far from their borders inside Israel early Friday, have built up a significant drone arsenal.

Since the Israel-Hamas war broke out in Gaza on October 7, the Iran-backed Huthis have carried out dozens of drone and missile attacks against shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, in what they say is an act of solidarity with the Palestinians.

After repeatedly threatening to expand their operations, the rebels claimed a drone attack Friday on Tel Aviv that, according to Israeli authorities, left one person dead.

It was 3:00 am and Jonathan Karten had just arrived with friends at his apartment from a party when they heard what sounded like a fighter jet swooping in over the sea towards Tel Aviv.

The jet turned out to be a drone that crashed into an apartment block nearby Friday, killing one man and injuring a number of others.

Yemen's Huthi rebels have claimed the attack, that stunned Israel as it battles the Gaza war.

The blast from the drone strike smashed windows all along Shalom Aleichem Street where the drone fell.

Israel threatened reprisals Friday after a drone claimed by Yemen's Huthi rebels penetrated its vaunted air defences and killed a civilian in a Tel Aviv apartment building near a US embassy annexe.

The attack drew condemnation from UN chief Antonio Guterres and an appeal for "maximum restraint" to avoid "further escalation in the region".

The pre-dawn strike came hours before Israel suffered another blow, a ruling by the UN's top court that its occupation of the Palestinian territories was "illegal" and needed to end as soon as possible.

Planes were gradually taking off again Saturday after global airlines, banks and media were thrown into turmoil by one of the biggest IT crashes in recent years, caused by an update to an antivirus programme.

Passenger crowds had swelled at airports on Friday as dozens of flights were cancelled after an update to a programme operating on Microsoft Windows crashed systems worldwide.

By Saturday, officials said the situation had returned virtually to normal in airports across Germany and France, as Paris prepared to welcome millions for the Olympic Games starting on Friday.

Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels claimed a drone attack on Tel Aviv on Friday that left one person dead, saying it marked a "new phase" in its operations against Israel.

The rebels fired a "new drone called 'Yafa', which is capable of bypassing the enemy's interception systems," their spokesman, Yahya Saree, said on social media.

It struck "one of the important targets in the occupied Jaffa region, what is now called Israeli Tel Aviv," he said, adding "the operation has achieved its goals successfully".
